Mason Pearson Universal Nylon Hair Brush

I have to admit that I did do a lot of second guessing before buying this rather expensive brush, but I'm happy to report that I have fallen in love with this! It has become my primary hair styling stool. You see, I have really long fine black hair and most brushes / combs are way too violent with my hair, causing too much breakage. But when I use this one, not even a single hair breaks (but it does remove loose hair and build-up gently).I can see why this has become such an icon. Even the cleaning brush that comes with this is a thing of beauty. The rubber padding, on which sits the boar bristles, acts as a soft cushion preventing the brush from scraping against my sensitive scalp.Such a perfect way to coddle my hair!

I had one of these as a child when I had very long hair. I now have short, fine but quite copious hair and wasn't sure the brush would make much difference. I need not have worried; after 8 months the condition of my hair is much better. I brush it night and morning, and it lies flat on my head, then a quick run through with my fingers and it springs back into style. To me it's worth every penny.

After using my Mason-Pearson Detangler brush, purchased for me by my parents 30+ years ago, the pad finally began to lose a few bristles, and to show other signs of wear, necessitating the need for a replacement. So I recently purchased this dark ruby Universal model.This Universal is only my 3rd MP brush, including the Pocket Nylon brush I own, also purchased decades ago— a testament to the quality of M-P’s fine hair care products.The Universal (“medium” sized) has 7 rows of bristles, the Detangler (“handy” sized), has 6 rows. Both brushes have identical bristles, but the Universal is a larger brush.Need help deciding? If you have smaller hands, or intend to use this predominantly for styling, consider the “handy” size Detangler instead. Both are full-sized, adult brushes. The Pocket-sized brush (5 rows of bristles), while intended as a travel/purse brush, can also be used as an everyday/primary brush for children. The pad is only slightly smaller than the other two, but the handle length is considerably shorter.I have provided two photos for visual reference both of the 3 brush-types/sizes mentioned here (plus the Cleaner), and their accompanying boxes.While I am blonde, I have a healthy headful of very thick, moderately coarse, slightly wavy hair. I adore M-P’s largest, traditional brushes with boar bristles (so luxurious and absolutely gorgeous displayed on one’s dressing table!), but due to the thickness of my hair, I have always used the nylon-bristled models as my everyday/primary brushes (on dry hair) because they're the only bristles that penetrate to my scalp. While the nylon bristles are firm, they do flex, and are so well-polished, they’ve never scratched my scalp. They literally glide through my hair. They’re also useful for brushing-out hairspray and dry shampoo. Additionally, I use my M-P’s for styling such as back-brushing (volume & height can be achieved in seconds).With proper care these brushes will last decades. Included are glossy, full-color leaflets with care directions such as using the included Cleaner brush, as well as some historical information on the company.These cult-classic brushes are truly the best investment one can make for a lifetime of beautiful hair.Very highly recommended!Thank you for reading,-CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer

No pagues de más por este producto. No lo vale, es más si fama que lo que es… un cepillo vulgar y silvestre de plástico sin nada relevante que resaltar

Excellent quality brush for hair that gets knotted easily

This is the one that works for me. I had been using the one with nylon bristles combined with boar which I liked because it felt and worked better than a previous one (all boar but closely packed bristles, not useful for me), and finally realized it was pulling out my hair....not a happy thing. I was thinking other things were causing the problem. I bit the bullet and bought this one... After brushing I see almost NO hair in the brush, and the scalp and hair are happy. The price is painful but so is the sight of your hair drifting over the floor. And as noted in other reviews, I swear my hair feels nicer to the touch!

I have wavy hair with some coils; it is not coarse but fine / dense. I have A LOT of hair that I keep between 2-3ft long. I wish I would’ve purchased this brush sooner. The brush is strong, painless to brush with, and has made my hair softer / smoother. It was worth the price as it replaces the many other brushes I’d been using for upkeep + will outlast those other brushes. I’ll be purchasing the pocket sized one for my purse + hoping that Mason Pearson will make a larger size of this nylon brush (the largest size for this one is their ‘medium’ ATM).
